Mike did a fantastic job installing the electrical needed for my new outdoor hot tub. First, Mike offered to stop by to provide me a quote in person at no charge, which I very much appreciated. Mike was very accomodating as my schedule changed and had great communication about the time and date for his service. He was professional, thorough, diligent in getting the job done. I also liked that he was friendly and kind. He did the work for the quoted price. I asked him to take a quick look at something else and he did without charge. He also gave me a few ideas about hot tub installation - totally out of his scope but he's just that kind of nice guy to help if he can. I strongly recommend Mike and will call him forever more if I ever need further electrical work.

AC Electric re-mediated the aluminum wiring in our old house via Copalum, and I was thoroughly impressed with their customer service and quality of personnel. They're one of two companies in town who are qualified to do so, and their prices are significantly lower. Although they were VERY busy, and it did take a few weeks after I inquired for them to be able to start the job, when started it was done efficiently, with great care and attention to detail.

Bobby is young and intelligent, and I never questioned whether he knew exactly what he was doing. He and his crew were incredibly courteous, smart, and kept in great communication with us about what was happening and about how long it would take to fix things. We had a real mess of electrical work left by the previous owners of the house, but they got everything working perfectly in several days. Bobby even came back the next week after the job was done, when some outlets had stopped working (not due to anything they'd done, but due to some old broken wires), and fixed the problem, no questions asked. AC Electric are the only electricians I will recommend from now on, and that recommendation will be an easy one to give.

Thanks!

Prompt, courteous and reasonable (for electrical work). Replaced a GFI Breaker switch for our hot tub, but it turned out the problem was with the hot tub and had to be done by the dealer.

These guys are spammers and they are even proud of it.
When you ask them to remove them from your junk mail list, they just tell you they'll do that once you review them. Blackmail, anybody?

Had a small electrical issues in a couple bathrooms so called AC since they are close/local. They were really busy so the receptionist (Debbie?) gave me some things to check and it worked!! Now that is how you gain and keep customers! AC will be my ""go to"" electrician from now on!

I have used AC Electric on three occasions and each time they were exceptional! They showed up within a couple of days of my calling, showed up on time, were extremely professional and efficient. I will call them in the future for any electrical needs and recommend them to friends and family!

Excellent service and a knowledgeable crew. They replaced a couple of landscaping uplight fixtures for me with new ones I purchased and it works great! Also inspected my electrical panel to be sure everything was wired properly. Would definitely hire again in the future!

They installed an outlet for my electric vehicle charging station. The conduit run is very clean and hardly shows at all. The outlet was miswired at first and they had to come back to fix it.

Great work, I just feel bad for returning a charger that didn't work because of a miswired outlet.

We called Mike Short (yes that really is his name) to have an electrician come to our home and troubleshoot a bad ceiling fixture.

The technician quickly determined that the original line was damage during construction, so the build snaked a space line beside it in case the line failed. As it had failed, our AC Electric tech was able to quickly rewire to the new line and had everything better than new in less than 30 minutes.

Service was first rate and the price was fair.

Great customer service. I only needed electrical outlets replaced inside and outside of my home and a faulty light fixture replaced. The electrician was polite and friendly. There was a minor problem with the installation of an inexpensive light fixture that I bought (I won't make that mistake again) at a local home improvement store. They promptly fixed the issue. I would recommend them to family and friends.
